In this respect (en toutw tw merei). The glory on the face of Moses was temporary, though real, and passed away (verse II Corinthians 3:7), a type of the dimming of the glory of the old dispensation by the brightness of the new. The moon makes a dim light after the sun rises, "is not glorified" (ou dedocastai, perfect passive indicative of docazw).
By reason of the glory that surpasseth (eineken thv uperballoushv dochv). The surpassing (uper-ballw, throwing beyond) glory. Christ as the Sun of Righteousness has thrown Moses in the shade. Cf. the claims of superiority by Christ in Matthew 5:7.
